It's a Flash embedded one, comparable to WMP, QuickTime, and probably the MPlayer plugin (which I never got around to configuring on my Linux desktop machine so I dunno for sure). It's compatible with any Flash-capable system, and also has AVI-codecked downloads available for the free ones. I know how advertistic that sounds, but it IS free* =)
*It's the content that's sold, not the player. Duh, but just clarifying for... well, certain people.
If nobody does anything with the data unless you're breaking the law, and only law enforcement can get into it with a search warrant or something similar, why should you care if someone - something, even, knows what you do on the internet? If there was no limit to privacy, don'tcha think the crime rate would hit the roof? Not only is losing a little privacy not losing freedom... it could be gaining freedom! Think about it: if there was no privacy, and you you weren't doing anything bad, you'd never have to worry about looking or acting suspicious! Of course, no privacy would ruin everyone's lives, but not having every single possible bit of it just might do the trick too.

Speaking as a student and Linux advocate, I can tell you right now that if the IT guys don't know it they won't install it. I set up and administered two Ubuntu machines on a couple old iMacs in the back of our computer lab last year, with backing from local and district IT personnel. The project was scrapped after nobody besides me could administer the boxes.
Almost all, if not all, of the inhabited areas of the planet have wireless broadband through the InMarSat Global Broadband network (though it is quite expensive). So yes, we are all outfitted with wireless.
$600 for 1536kbps. One VoIP connection uses about 32kbps (with a decent, but fast codec). This means you can support 48 connections at any one time, at $12.50/mo each for dedicated bandwidth, or even less cost and more customers due to the fact that most people are not perpetually in a call.

Well 2gb a decade ago was nice for a traditional hard drive. :P
Remember those Nokia phones that had an FM radio on it? And they were like $180 MSRP? ...Yeah. There's your radio.

Ever wonder why we don't see any of these?
- Glasses frames with sharpened ends
- Suitcase handles with sharpened ends (pull them all the way out of the suitcase and you have a gigantic shank)
- A sharp plastic credit-card size object
- Some kind of chemical disguised as a useful medication (e.g. Tylenol) that ignites when it reacts with beer or soda or laptop batteries or something
- A car bomb in the pickup/dropoff area
